Do your pain and movement problems keep recurring, making you feel like you’re chasing symptoms instead of fixing the underlying cause?
Client Success Story
What if there's a piece missing in your puzzle?
​
Many therapy and medical approaches focus on treating symptoms rather than the underlying cause. Simon works to find out what’s behind your problems and, most importantly, how you can work together to solve them for good.
Our bodies have hundreds of muscles and joints, all of which are controlled by the brain and nervous system. Over time, factors such as poor posture, injuries, surgeries, or emotional stress can change how our brain and body work together.
More than 80% of Simon’s clients with ongoing pain or movement issues are dealing with these kinds of brain-body ‘software’ communication problems.
You might not realise it, but when we feel pain or discomfort, we change how we move to protect ourselves and feel better. This can help for a while, but over time, it can cause other problems.
Everything in your body is connected. Your muscles, joints, and tissues work together like a team whenever you move.
In your sessions with Simon, you’ll work together to identify which muscles and joints aren't working normally and which are overworking to compensate. You’ll leave knowing why these imbalances are happening and what steps you can take to fix them.
Every assessment and treatment is designed just for you. There’s no single approach—your care is based on your unique needs and history.
At Chester Body Mechanic, Simon uses several advanced therapy and movement approaches, such as NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT), Proprioceptive-Deep Tendon Reflex (P-DTR), Anatomy in Motion (AiM), and Integrated Cranial Therapy (ICT).
His goal is to help your brain and body figure out what’s working well and what isn’t, so you can restore normal function in your nervous system and muscles and move comfortably again.
Simon asks that you commit to the process, do simple self-care exercises between sessions, and make your well-being a priority.
Pain is your body’s way of telling you something needs to change. Only you can decide if now is the right time to take that step.
"Before I met Simon, I'd had lower back and neck pain for as long as I could remember. A great deal of my jobs requires me to be sat at a computer most of the day, along with a fair bit of driving.
​
I'd tried LOTS of different therapies but always found that the aches and pains came back within a day or two. I'd tried to keep active in the gym and running but went to the point where I had to stop both due to the constant pain.
​
When I first met Simon for a session, he took the time to talk through my history with several old injuries; I was surprised to find that many of my aches and pains had ended up in my lower back and neck, but the underlying causes were coming from an old ankle sprain injury and an old hip problem (from me sitting with my legs crossed one way on the couch in front of the TV every night.)
​
I wasn't walking and running in alignment, so my lower back and neck muscles became over-used to compensate.
​
I was assigned simple 'self-care exercises' after each therapy session with Simon, designed to work on correcting several muscle imbalances he found and treated.
​
After my sessions with Simon, my lower back and neck areas remain trouble-free!
​
I've been doing lots of exercises, including a 3-mile run, a kickboxing class at the gym and two swims last week... and my body feels great!
​
I'm eternally grateful. :)
